michelle obama is very personal today about it from chicago. is he doing enough? are you happy with what he is trying to achieve here? >> i think he's doing an amazing job. he's trying so hard for this not to happen again. and there's only so much he can do. and he's just -- he's been amazing through all of this. and i've had the pleasure of meeting him and talking to him. and he's a very nice person, to me, and he's trying. but like i said, there's only so much he can do about this. >> carlee, it's very brave of you to come on the show and talk this way. i think it's -- how anyone can listen to any of the families from newtown and not just race to contact their politician, their senator, their congressman, their congresswoman, and demand action is completely beyond me. so keep doing what you're doing. and we will be right behind you. >> thank you. >> thank you for joining me. >> thank you very much. >>> when we come back, yeah, i think we should -- oh, he's a fighter alright. since aflac is helping with his expenses while he can't work, he can focus on his recove

so we went down and met with the vice president's task force and michelle obama and said what can we do to help? we didn't realize -- there was people working, but there wasn't a centralized voice of the people. we have an overwhelming ma joer majority in this country that support common sense laws that keep america safe. and we just started going where is everybody? >> tell me exactly how this works. >> when we came up to the brady center, we came up there. we created voices against violence. and in the next three weeks, it's extremely critical. basically, what we have come up with is a call congress, text campaign. what we've done is we're able to actually say text my voice to 877877 and what happens is you receive a text back that asks for your zip code. you put in your zip code. the phone rings, it's tony's voice. and tony says -- we'll play the recording. i think your people have put this together. basically, it urges people to call their senator. and we automatically connect them to their senator. >> i love this idea. let's just remind me what you do. you text my voice to 87787

president barack obama said michelle and i are saddened to hear about the passing of roger ebert. for a generation of americans roger was the movies. when he didn't like the film, he was honest. when he did, he was effusive, capturing the unique power of the movies to take us somewhere magical. how important in the end was roger's thumb, because it became one of the most famous thumbs in critical history. he either gave you a thumbs up or gloriously, if you were a real triumph, two thumbs up, or a thumbs down and it could make or break a movie, couldn't it? >> yes. and -- but i think he was much more about the thumbs. that became an iconic thing for both of them, but he won the pulitzer prize. he was the first film critic ever to win the pulitzer prize for film criticism. he was a very smart man and he championed film makers that otherwise maybe wouldn't have had the backing. spike lee, all of his films, his early films. errol morris, the documentary film maker. ang lee. i can go down a whole list. myself included. he got behind our films and was an enthusiastic critic. when you s
